SPICY CAJUN POPCORN CHICKEN WITH A SMOKEY HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE
So I started to think about popcorn beyond just a seasoned snack. Then I thought about popcorn chicken and a light went off... Popcorn-crusted chicken. For this recipe, I used SkinnyPop popcorn, a healthier popcorn option. Ooooh then I wanted it spicy (enter Cajun seasoning) and oooooh, it needed sauce (enter My Smokey Honey Mustard Sauce).

CAJUN POPCORN SPICE
Although there are several recipes for Cajun flavored popcorn posted, this fiery blend has a unique combination of spices. Use this on your favorite popcorn popped in a microwave, on the stove or using popcorn popper. You will need a little moisture to get the spices to adhere, the choice (butter, margarine or a low calorie butter substitute) is yours. Store the spice in a air-tight container as you would other spice blends.

- Mix all spices together in spice grinder or mini processor. Pulse quickly to mix spices and to break up the leaves of the herbs.
- Sprinkle on popcorn to taste. Hot stuff!
